POLISHING COMPOUND.

No Drawing.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed September 18, 1911. Serial No. 850,081.

Patented Jan. 23, 1912.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Emma KELLY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Uniontown, in the county 'of Fayette and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Im rovements inPolishing Compounds; and do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact descri tion of the invention, such as will enab e others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention is an im roved composition of matter for polis ing furniture, pianos,'automobiles or for renewing any varnished or polished surface.

The object of the invention is to provide a polish of this character which Wlll pro- -duce a highly polished glossy surface and which will dry immediately and is not greasy or sticky.

My unproved polish consists of the followmg ingredients combined in the proport1ons stated: viz:

Castor oil "one-tenth; Ordinaryclear varnish two-tenths; Linseed 011 one-tenth; Crude oil "31} tenths; Drier "1% tenths; Vinegar "1- tenth; Carbon oil tenth.

These ingredients are to be thoroughly I mingled by agitation.

In using the above named composition it is applied to the surface to be polished in the same manner that any other polish is applied and is then rubbed with a'cloth or other soft material whereupon a high polish or gloss will be produced on the surface.

Carbon oil is a highly inflammable. oil which is pumped from the earth in certain sections 0 Pennsylvania and is employed in this composition as a cleaner to cut the dust and dirt from the surface of the object to be polished. The crude oil, linseed 011, and varnish impart a durable luster to the article polished by the composition of which these Ingredients form apart.

I am aware that all of the separate ingredients of this polish excegiting possibly carbon oil have been used be ore in various compositions, and I make no claim for their use separately. I have, however, found-that the joint use of all of these ingredients, especially in the proportions specified produce a glossy and durable polish notcapable of production by their separate use or by their use with, other ingredients, and which, unlike ordinary polishes dries immediately and is not in the least degree sticky or greasy.

\Vhile I have herein found from experience that the composition prepared in the proportions stated produces the best results, I do not wish to confine myself to these ex act proportions as slight variations therein may be made without materially affecting the gloss producing qualities of the composition.

I claim: I

1. A furniture polish consisting of castor oil, varnish, linseed oil, crude oil, drier, vinegar and carbon oil substantially and for the purpose specified.

2. A furniturepolish consisting of castor oil, one-tenth; varnish, two-tenths; l nseed oil, one-tenth;crude oil, 3% tenths; drler, 1% tenths; vinegar, tenth; carbon oil, tenth; thoroughly commingled.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of two subscribing witnesses. y
